From the heart of London’s West End we deliver high quality legal services to clients around the globe.
We are to other law firms what a private bank is to a call centre. We pride ourselves on offering first-class legal advice and business acumen with a genuine personal touch.
With a history in commercial and private client law spanning two centuries we have perfected the art of getting to know and looking after our clients, thinking ahead so that you can work around problems before they arise.
It’s no wonder that so many of our clients come to us through recommendation.
Corporate finance Whether you are setting up a new business, selling one or preparing to float, our corporate finance team can assist you with the finance of assets or developments as well as managing family succession, the challenge of mergers and the excitement of welcoming shareholders. |
Business services Our business services team are skilled in business-to-business and business-to-consumer projects. We look to spot potential problems early on, take a practical approach to drafting, negotiate effectively and help manage risk in your business contracts and documents. |
Property finance We act for banks, borrowers and investors on a wide variety of finance and security matters. Our expertise includes acquisition finance, secured lending, structured finance, project finance, asset finance and restructurings. |
Commercial dispute resolution Our belief is that prevention is better than cure and we work hard to avoid conflict. When it is inevitable we are able to provide a wide range of resolutions to keep litigation time and cost to a minimum and, where appropriate, we have the resources to engage effectively in heavy cases. |
Commercial property We are able to handle and provide legal advice for the process of buying, selling or leasing commercial property as an owner, occupier, investor or developer. We work within a wide range of sectors including hotel chains, the wider hospitality industry, commercial properties and large residential estates. |
Employment Employment is now one of the most heavily regulated aspects of the UK economy. We work to help our clients keep abreast of the law so that they are not tripped up. We are also well versed in quick resolution of issues should they arise. |
Landlord & tenant (property) Our commercial property team are skilled at dealing with both contentious and non contentious aspects of landlord and tenant law in this ever changing legal area. |
Professional negligence Sometimes professionals (such as accountants, solicitors, surveyors, valuers, architects and financial advisers) make mistakes or find themselves under attack from those who were really at fault. We are well placed to assist claimants (from private customers to banks) and defendants (from insurers to professional services firms) in this area. |
Immigration Immigration can be a complex area but we are skilled in navigating it, assisting private clients and businesses with all aspects including work permits, visa issues, family reunion applications and many other related matters. |
Charities Several of our partners are trustees of charitable trusts and companies so this is an area of law that we hold close to our hearts. We advise the whole range of charities, from small local organisations through to Top 300 Charity members offering perfectly tailored solutions for their unique needs. |
Residential property For most, buying or selling a home can be one of the most stressful times of your life. Our team work tirelessly to keep the chain intact and the lines of communication open, taking some of the stress out of the situation. |
Construction We have extensive experience in advising in relation to all aspects of contracting and its related forms. A number of our legal team have worked for contractors, sub-contractors and procurers/employers and have been seconded to clients’ legal departments to offer specific assistance and expertise on construction cases. In addition to providing all aspects of advisory work, we also provide construction dispute services. We advise claimants and respondents in all aspects of adjudication, arbitration and litigation. In many cases it is preferable for our clients to settle their cases on acceptable terms rather than to litigate and we also have a wealth of experience in alternative dispute resolution, for example mediation. |
